Poll: OOTY prelims, Flight 5

posted at 9:31 am on December 9, 2012 by Ed Morrissey

We almost have the first semi-final poll filled out for the Obamateurism of the Year, thanks to the selection last week of Barack Obama’s assumption that men and women in the military are there to fight on his behalf. Let’s look at the next five weekly winners to see who will get added to Round One of the semifinals:

This is just too depressing for words. Every day I get up and at some point realize that Obama is still president and will be for the next four frickin’ years. Worse, I realize that 51% of the people that surround me are either self-serving greedy, covetous, envy-filled leeches and/or idiots who actually voted this marxist narcissistic dictator wannabe back into office. Twice. That’s really depressing.

There is a reason our founders feared a pure democracy; we are seeing the fruits of what happens when “smarter” people decide otherwise. Folks, we are rapidly approaching the point of having 6 wolves and 4 sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

Every time I read or hear one of the litany of Obama’s Michael Kinsley gaffes (private sector doing fine, you didn’t build that, rates necessarily skyrocket, spread the wealth around a little bit, etc.) on economic matters or remember the filthy, disgusting Occuturd parasites and Madison public union thugs, I am reminded how gutless the Republican Party is. Instead of using the election to exploit Obama, Reid and Pelosi’s strident ignorance or the bullying tactics his sh** shower of grievance merchants have employed to advance their objectives, the GOP goes on the defensive, wringing its hands over 47% and sluts. The party is run by a bunch of losers who are incompetent at fighting their enemies and instead choose to eat their own.

the Obamateurism feature should/can not go away!…do you think the MSM will report ANYTHING the JugEarred jokester fumbles on?
JugEars could be golfing everyday of the year…and we wouldn’t know it! KOOLAID2 on December 9, 2012 at 10:11 AM

I agree with Kool. As the days go by, we will hear less and less of Barky’s spontaneous speech and gaffs and get only the polished image his minions produce. I want them to know we haven’t forgotten who he is.

Lech Walesa is an example of a man who risked everything. He stood up against un-imaginable odds, and fought for the basic freedom that we take for granted. At best he faced prison, assassination at worst, but he stood his ground and fought, and won.
I’m amazed at the ignorance of those here that think they are so avant-garde, standing up to “the man” or “the system”. They “occupy” this city, or that city. They fancy themselves some kind of freedom fighters in arguably one of the most free societies to ever exist. They rail about oppression, having never truly been oppressed. They seek to bring down those that succeed, because it is easier than building up those that haven’t.
They call themselves the educated and the enlightened. They can point out every iniquity of our system, from slavery to poverty. Yet they turn a blind eye to the slavery that still exists today in certain places, and to the abject poverty that permeates the 3rd world dictatorships. When they don’t turn a blind eye, they find some way to turn their suffering into our fault.
I often wonder if they’ve ever bothered to read a history book. They seem to look at the world through rose colored glasses. To them, all was right in the world before modern republican free market government.
In my line of work I am surrounded by liberal democrats. I’ve been asking them one simple question, and I’ve yet to get much more than a blank stare back, or an insult. That question is simply this.
If the man you voted for can not bring himself to vote for the right of a botched abortion baby to be given the basic human right to life. What makes you think he has compassion or concern for you?

You have to go with “the private sector” comment, it captures his twisted ideology but also his stupidity. Moron, don’t tell the people you care more for government employees & the “private sector is doing fine”. Some of the dopes who voted for you might catch on.

For two centuries this country stood as a beacon (imperfect though it was) of liberty, opportunity and justice. I can’t help but think that simple fact that we as a nation chose to reelect an administration that has such a primal disregard for all three of those principles closes the book on that chapter of world history. ….can’t say I look forward to what comes next.

letget: I’m bringing my menorah and some Hanukkah ‘stuff’ to my Wally’s Christmas party tomorrow… so my Jewish associate friend won’t feel left out.
The only place in Lubbock that sells Hanukkah stuff is a CHRISTIAN bookstore. Though I left the faith-I have ZERO use for so-called Messianic ‘Jews’. This store needs to quit selling Jewish stuff-still…I need candles and a few dreidels…so I’ll be headin’ over there today.
